2:31 pm
time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress. distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute. to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you. thank you thank.

2:34 pm
the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and there are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nothing times over for groceries for everyone the country free for two years or to
2:35 pm
provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the more turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin laden. we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting and ask yourself how many orphans are going to bed with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions more we prepared to spend on avenging that. you

can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs in the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt has now hit . one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. i have to.
2:37 pm

2:38 pm
oh it just. has so many bright. young people. on a global stage with affordable education. it is a challenge just as there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased loan limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get a comfortable john. and not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are
2:39 pm
speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever just charge this invade privacy the idea of you do you debtors union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you.

write code like this you know it's really about who we believe and the sooner we. just saw all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think that the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing fred a mess. all of you to bury your is tar sands oil is not at the gulf in order to get tar sands oil you ask to destroy the ark and so i think that you know fine stop the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment's going to magically go itself
2:41 pm
because we stop the high price and then the thing about the pipeline is and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james taylor said the brokaw boring are actually a few decades past ever says the pipeline it will be game over game over again so i didn't come up on you know how to build. wealthy british style. time to. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mikes concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause

2:45 pm
we're not going to be good. because we see a better world. and that is organization of the second that any american dreams. were created. i. put in a fiction you. have to see this intervention at the end you know the show you all this stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do what they will change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction. to corporate money ok. now we can expect them to get off
2:46 pm
it on their own even on that any smoking a crack open my door was. cracked up to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not on the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption so folks that move to amend are really in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech and constitutional rights are for people over eighteen fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand and ten the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see was

2:49 pm
parish rat but still much better just remember big corporations cause creation is. somebody who really does because. the odds are that was. because. people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not that official to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these
2:50 pm
corporations do. if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then the you look at the military budget the ops in the military budget units they spend as much as the whole world can buy at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade for the american society of civil engineers we get a d. in there these days threatens the future of our economy our infrastructure is going to work as a face of those two issues which are you know just war going on there the one percent of the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy you know certainly there's money to reform at whom so they're not wasting energy you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like. our money ran on it it was frightening. it was frightening. place and it was this was
2:51 pm
a target like the rest. of your red streak. we were right. here. and. they say that the occupy movement major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation and people are now debating issues such as wealth inequality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to coal they are super rich as a result of their active purchases. patient in for their willingness to be
2:52 pm
accessories to criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most only issues are connected to the internet or activists who are through healthcare reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will banks the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity you see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be euthanised for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the
2:53 pm
people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the good for no education. it was a martin luther king day and two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well some of us knew better than you can there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time in. for
2:54 pm
a movement that is to terminally to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy movement but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into a corner of this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative and if you talk to somebody do you feel how did you get to
2:55 pm
the image of him coming to your kitty still. believed to be. independent. didn't you. just found. out thanks lee in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing does the world have to be this light and how can we bring a better world and i think this historical lesson the kids who would like to read about it they had to keep coming back and coming back to build this because they knew it. and they knew they could change the place to actually think something out of.
